Chief Tom Foster Retiring

On January 3rd, 2022, I am retiring from the City of Bunnell after 42 years of dedicated, honorable, and highly decorated law enforcement service; 8 years of which was as your Bunnell Police Chief, I have decided to retire and start a new chapter in my life.

I believe strongly that I was brought to the city of Bunnell as an instrument of change as the agency was struggling for leadership for decades. I am truly blessed to have served as the longest tenured chief in this city’s history. My initial intention was to retire in March 2022, but with the passing of Sgt. Dominic Guida, it has opened my eyes and I have come to terms that I did what God has asked me to do. Philippians 4:13 states ‘I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me”, he has provided me the strength to step away and the strength to be at peace with this decision. I Thank God for his guidance and protection throughout my career.

I am very honored and blessed to have serve as the Police Chief for the City of Bunnell and I am very proud of the dedicated men and women of the Bunnell Police Department. May God Bless our Bunnell police officers, Flagler Beach officers and Flagler County deputies and keep them safe.

Thank you all and God Bless!
Sincerely,
Chief Tom Foster

Wishing you and yours a safe and happy holiday season.

Avoid telegraphing your Christmas gift purchases to the "Grinch who stole Christmas!" Placing your gift boxes in front of your house may be sending an unintentional yet unwanted signal to a would-be thief. It may just tell them the very item they are shopping for is inside your home.

Stay safe throughout the holidays by recycling your empty gift boxes. Please break them down and drop them off at the Police Chief’s Burglar Box Depot. The recycle bins are located on S. Pine St behind the Coquina City Hall. They will be in place from December 4, 2020 through January 4, 2021. Protect your home and your new treasures, by utilizing this free service.

Chief Tom Foster and all the members of the Bunnell Police Department wish you a Merry Christmas and urge you to stay safe throughout the holidays.
